Can someone please explain the Woo reaction?

What does it mean? Is someone making fun of you or are they actually excited by what you said?

I love getting both woo reactions. This is a fun community and I try to not take things too seriously here. Like egg diets, and the "cheat days" threads that pop up every five minutes.

It’s a way to help people be confused.

It could mean “yay great” or it could mean “what a bunch of woo-bs”. And there’s no way to know if someone is woo-ing a post for one or the other.

There’s also no way to know what specifically prompted a woo vote. The post could be a 17,000 word essay of quality info and then it uses the word “toning” and BOOM-157 woos. Or it could be the entire post is nonsense from start to finish. Or it could be woo’d because the poster is acting like a sanctimonious *kitten*. Or it could be people are cheering. Or it could be someone didn’t understand the post/post was unclear and was interpreted to mean something it didn’t. Or it could be someone was scrolling on their phone and accidentally hit the woo as they went by. Or someone doesn’t like the poster and wants to keep the high school spirit alive by “wooing” every post they make.

Nobody knows.

If you see a whole bunch of woos-it usually means the post either asks about or contains information that is generally incorrect. But you’ll never know what exactly promoted the woos unless there are comments/responses (which there usually are).
